George W Dunne National Golf Course

Absolutely love this course. The conditions are better than ever and it is a beautiful course

3 hours for 9 holes and always the problem here, love the course but they need to spread the times out more and $7.50 for a beer while you wait for your late tee time, come on guys you are not the Chicago Bears

Sand traps have been a problem here since day one still working on it
wonderful layout
greens a little bumpy

Risk/Reward is the theme for George Dunne. Always in pretty good shape and a fun place to play. Played on mother's day in the afternoon and moved around the course extremely quick. I'm talking sub 2 hour 9 hole pace. This is unheard of for this course as usually my gripe is with the pace of play. Could have been the day and time so I won't tell you that I'm convinced they've turned a new leaf until I see it again. Always a fun place to play and you will enjoy yourself. If they can keep the pace of play good this will always be a top destination in the Chicagoland area.

this is the slowest pace course i have ever played in twenty years will never go again left after 8 holes

Great course! Good condition, and dynamite layout. Fairly priced, but that attracts a lot of beginners which slows the pace of play tremendously considering how tough it is. All in all, I'll be back.

great course, good conditions for this early in the year, but would not come back due to the ponderous pace of play. Left after it took 4 hours 45 minutes to play 16 holes.

staff was apologetic and offered 9 hole rain check

A very tough course, but it is a "must play". Challenging greens and water in play on many holes.

This is a must play course if you like to golf in the south or southwest suburbs. Pay the little extra and treat yourself. What a diamond in the rough!

One of the best kept secrets on the south side very well kept golf course very friendly staff everybody was moving at a very good pase we didn't have to wait on none of the holes I would go back in a heart beat as a matter of fact I'm going back on Saturday that's how much we loved the course keep up the good work and the price was great

I was very impressed with GWD. It has been on my list of Chicago area courses I've wanted to play for years and I now wish I wouldn't have waited so long. Excellent from start to finish. Staff was helpful in the shop and on the course. The course was in excellent shape and offered a wide variety of holes. I say it was moderately difficult (I'm a 10 handicapper# their is a large number of well placed sand traps and a decent amount of water to steer clear of, but the fairways are wide and the greens are large and if you miss a shot here and there which I did you aren't overly penalized at GWD. I would highly recommend this course and did I mentioned I played 18 with cart for $21 #with a great on line discount)

never hit into any other fairway then the one we were on. lots of room. never felt crowded.

I have played George Dunne many times. The course is well-maintained and the staff is very friendly. The value for the money is super.

The course was very challenging and kept up very well, except for some minor bunker construction and various maintenance. The staff was very friendly and the rangers did a good job keeping up the pace of play. For the value I highly recommend this course.

This is a great course! It is long and challenging, but has safe shot areas. There is plenty of trouble and sand, but if your in it its your own fault because there is plenty of room for good shots. The greens were in excellent shape. We played right after a rain storm so there was standing water on the fairways so we did not get much roll, but I really like this course. This has become one of my new favorite public courses in the Chicagoland area.

Liken this to a junior Cog Hill #4 - Dubs Dread. Lots of sand, excellent layout, mature...FANTASTIC but a real challenge.

If you are a value golfer this is by far the best course you can play under 50 dollars. The problem is usually the death march it takes to play here. Weekdays after 12 and weekends are usually 5 hour rounds because people are not playing the right tees and this course will beat you badly. Play in the morning and the course shines. The improvements to the fairway bunkers are wonderful and needed. The only thing this course needs is a ranger that will ride some of the hacks ruining it for the rest of us.

This course is a true test of your golfing abilities. There are numerous holes that very challenging. This is a great course to hone your shot shaping.

George Dunne is the type of course that you can have a good round on if you keep your focus. Even for a top tier player (I'm not - my current handicap is about 19 and I usually play the white tees) tee it up from the back tees and you'll have all the challege you want. This course has been improving slowly over the last few years as the sandtraps are being rehabbed much for the better. Holes 4 and 11 both test your ability to hit the long ball over water but both also have a bail out area to the right. Number 6 is a beautiful par 5 surrounded by traps at the green - I'm content with a bogey there. Number 18 is memorable with a carry over a large pond and different tee areas for the white and blue tees. There is usually also a set of gold tees for the low handicappers but when I played Saturday 8/17/13 the blues were where the golds normally are and there were no gold tees. Overall, a beautiful course - certainly the crown jewel of the forest preserve courses.

This course is as nice a layout as I've played. If it was really maintained it would be as good as any country club. For $70/weekend ride it's a very good value and because of this it gets a lot of play. Add in the level of difficulty and little to no marshal oversight and you can have some slow rounds. We are talking almost 6 hours on a weekend. My advise to the course is charge a little more and hire more marshals. My advise to the player is book really early tee times during the week. Either way, bring your "A" game and prepare to enjoy the sights. You will have time to do so.
